Reno Airport Wedding Greets Sailor Returning From Sea Duty (Video)

A Navy seaman fresh off an 11-month deployment off the coast of Syria couldn’t wait another minute to marry his high-school sweetheart, so the couple had their wedding ceremony at Reno-Tahoe International Airport Tuesday.

Dylan Ruffer and Madison Meinhardt, both 19, had planned to get hitched back in early October, but Ruffer's deployment was extended at the last minute and the wedding plans were canceled.

So when Meinhardt learned her fiancé would be home for a six-day leave this week, she contacted the airport to see if they would be able to play host for a small wedding ceremony.
